Abstract

Abstract An electric noise absorber for holding a conduit of an electronic device comprises a retaining case composed of two box-shaped cases and auxiliary cases. A sponge-like member is fitted into the auxiliary case to prevent longitudinal movement of the cord or cable. A box-shaped case contains a magnet having a recess for receiving the cord or cable. It is possible to easily and securely attach and detach the electric noise absorber to the cord or cable by simply opening and closing the cases.

Claims Analysis

Total Claims: 15
Claim 1
Independent Claim 115 words
An electric noise absorber comprising: a magnetic body abutably divided into two parts, each of said two parts having an abutment surface which has a recess and said magnetic body configured to enclose a portion of an electric conductor; a retaining case including a pair of cases hingedly connected with each other for holding said magnetic body; an auxiliary case connected to and adjacent a side of said retaining case, said auxiliary case including at least one cavity; and an elastic press member sized, shaped, and positioned to fit into a cavity of said auxiliary case and to engage and hold a conductor when said retaining case is in a closed condition about the conductor.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim 115 words
An electric noise absorber comprising: a magnetic body abutably divided into two parts, each of said two parts having an abutment surface which has a recess and said magnetic body configured to enclose a portion of an electric conductor; a retaining case including a pair of cases hingedly connected with each other for holding said magnetic body; an auxiliary case connected to and adjacent a side of said retaining case, said auxiliary case including at least one cavity; and an elastic press member sized, shaped, and positioned to fit into a cavity of said auxiliary case and to engage and hold a conductor when said retaining case is in a closed condition about the conductor.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim 28 words
An electric noise absorber as defined in claim 1, wherein a pair of resilient members are provided at one of said cases for pressing said magnetic body (3a,3b).
Claim 4
Dependent Claim 34 words
A electric noise absorber as defined in claim 1, wherein a pair of engaging members are provided on an inside surface of said cases for engaging with a notch (31a,31b) of said magnetic body.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim 32 words
An electric noise absorber as defined in claim 1, wherein at least a pair of small projections are provided on said auxiliary cases for piercing and engaging into said elastic pres members.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim 34 words
An electric noise absorber as defined in claim 1, wherein each of said two cases of said retaining case has a detachable connecting means at opposite edge to the edge provided with the hinge.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim 57 words
An electric noise absorber as defined in claim 5, wherein said detachable means includes a plate-like hook and a through hole, said plate-like hook is provided on an end of one of said cases, pivoted about a hinge and fitted into said through hole provided at an end of another case in a closed and locked position.
Claim 8
Dependent Claim 15 words
An electric noise absorber as defined in claim 5, wherein said hinge is a strip.
Claim 9
Dependent Claim 28 words
An electric noise absorber as defined in claim 1, wherein said two parts of said magnetic body are provided with a recess allowing abutment of an electric conductor.
Claim 10
Dependent Claim 23 words
An electric noise absorber as defined in claim 1, wherein said press member and said auxiliary cases are shaped in a rectangular parallelopipe.
Claim 11
Dependent Claim 24 words
An electric noise absorber as defined in claim 1, wherein said elastic press member has a size in depth greater than of auxiliary case.
Claim 12
Dependent Claim 14 words
An electric noise absorber as defined in claim 1, said magnetic body is ferrite.
Claim 13
Dependent Claim 24 words
An electric noise absorber as defined in claim 1, wherein said magnetic body is configured to enclose a portion of a flat electric cable.
Claim 14
Dependent Claim 95 words
An electric noise absorber comprising: a magnetic body abutably divided into two parts, each of said two parts having an abutment surface which has a recess and said magnetic body configured to enclose a portion of an electric conductor; a retaining case including a pair of cases hingedly connected with each other for holding said magnetic body; and elastic press member means for engaging and holding a conductor when said retaining case is in a closed condition about an electric conductor, said elastic press member means being located adjacent a side of said retaining case.
Claim 15
Dependent Claim 95 words
An electric noise absorber comprising: a magnetic body abutably divided into two parts, each of said two parts having an abutment surface which has a recess and said magnetic body configured to enclose a portion of an electric conductor; a retaining case including a pair of cases hingedly connected with each other for holding said magnetic body; and elastic press member means for engaging and holding a conductor when said retaining case is in a closed condition about an electric conductor, said elastic press member means being located adjacent a side of said retaining case.
